The Future Freaks Me Out.
This promotional film from the Automobile Manufaturers of America starts out with a lot of potential, however it quickly deteriorates into just another
...
Looney Tunes inspired teaching film. This film starts off with the main character reading "Future News" in the year 2000 and contemplating buying a new car, after the work day is over he goes home to his family and after dinner they watch a boring documentry on the history of the automobile. Now thier are a lot of great idea's for the future in this first part, food ad's you can smell, 3D television, and even a system allowing drivers to call fellow drivers via thier licenseplate number. Unfortunatly from thier on out we get a slightly biased view of the history of the automabile. frankly I don't blame Jr when he says he wants to watch another "Cowboy Picture" on the "Space Vision" it would deffinatly be more intresting, again this film had a lot of potential but it ends up just being dull.

Welcome to 2003!
Pretty great Sutherland cartoon that starts off in the future, in either a salute to the Jetsons, or seriously giving it some ideas, as you can imagine
...
the main character giving Geroge Jetson pointers. Anyways, his family view a bit about how grandpa used to have one of the old time autos, which didn't work so well. But after some improvements.. Look where the auto is now!! I did like the animation here. Another Sutherland classic.

The future we were promised
This John Sutherland cartoon from the late 1950's begins with newspaper headlines about space travel and tax cuts while Dad contemplates buying a new car
...
on Oct. 5, 2000. Pampered Mom, computerized home, 4 hour work day, and cars that drive themselves. A comical pre-1960 history of the auto industry's "remarkable inventions" making cars better and safer so more and more could enjoy operating them follows. Too bad the flying cars didn't work out, but I'd settle for the 4 hour work day.
